<p><font size="3"><b>Alliances</b></font></p>
<p><img border="0" src="Alliance.gif" align="left" width="28" height="28">In
<a href="MultiPlayer%20Games.htm">MultiPlayer Games</a>, you can chat with other 
Star Lords and form Alliances by clicking the &quot;Relations&quot; button.</p>
<p><font color="#FFFF00"><b>Communication Channels</b></font></p>
<p>When chatting with other Star Lords during a MultiPlayer Game, you can use 
one of three Channels:</p>
<ul>
  <li>All - your chat will be received by all Star Lords in the game.</li>
  <li>Allies - your chat will only be received by Star Lords that you've formed 
  an Alliance with (see below).</li>
  <li>Enemy - your chat will only be received by Star Lords that you have not 
  allied with.</li>
</ul>
<p><font color="#FFFF00"><b>Alliances</b></font></p>
<p>In the Relations screen, the Alliances section along the right side allows 
you to view and set Alliances with other players.&nbsp; There are three levels 
of Alliance in Solar Vengeance 5.&nbsp; When you enable a higher level of 
Alliance, it automatically also includes all of the effects of the lower levels.</p>
<ol>
  <li><b><font color="#FFFF00">Friendly</font></b> - When you grant a Star Lord 
  a Friendly alliance, your <a href="StarShips.htm">StarShips</a> will not automatically attack their 
  StarShips when Auto-Attack Adjacent is turned on.&nbsp; Additionally, your
  <a href="EMine.htm">EMines</a> and <a href="StarTillery.htm">StarTillery</a> will not attack the ally's StarShips.&nbsp; You can 
  still target their <a href="StarShips.htm">StarShips</a> and
  <a href="StarSystems.htm">StarSystems</a> manually if desired.</li>
  <li><font color="#FFFF00"><b>Intelligence</b></font> - The Star Lord you grant 
  this level of Alliance to shares your visibility, and can see all of the 
  <a href="StarSystems.htm">StarSystems</a> and <a href="StarShips.htm">StarShips</a> that you can see.</li>
  <li><font color="#FFFF00"><b>Formal</b></font> - When two or more Star Lords 
  mutually set a Formal Alliance, and they defeat the remaining Star Lords, a 
  joint victory is declared for the allied players.</li>
</ol>
<p><font color="#FFFF00"><b>Mutual or One-Sided Alliances</b></font></p>
<p>When you grant an Alliance to a player, you are providing them the benefit of 
the Alliance, but you do not receive the benefit unless they also explicitly 
grant you the Alliance.</p>
<p>When you grant an Alliance, you see an icon appear next to their name, with 
an open notched shape.&nbsp; The color of the icon determines the level of 
Alliance you granted; <font color="#FF9933">orange</font> for Friendly,
<font color="#FFFF00">yellow</font> for Intelligence, and <font color="#99FF66">
green</font> for formal.</p>
<p><img border="0" src="FriendlyNone.gif" width="32" height="32">This icon 
indicates that you've granted a Star Lord a Friendly Alliance, but they have not 
yet granted you an Alliance.</p>
<p><img border="0" src="NoneIntel.gif" width="32" height="32"> When a Star Lord 
has granted you an Alliance, you will see the icon shown here.&nbsp; In this 
case, the Star Lord has granted you an Intelligence Alliance but you have not 
granted them one yet.</p>
<p><img border="0" src="FormalFormal.gif" width="32" height="32"> When there is 
a mutual Alliance, but sides of the icon will be filled.&nbsp; Indicated here is 
a mutual Formal Alliance.</p>
<p>Be careful that your allies are living up to their end of the bargain and 
maintaining the Alliance with you.&nbsp; Also, be warned - Alliances can be 
broken at the click of a button!</p>
